Cool Japanese Red Cross Promotional

The Japanese Red Cross Society is doing a cool promotional, for blood donations, in the Ibaraki prefecture.  While supplies last the anime Girls und Panzer is collaborating with the Red Cross to help promote blood donations from teens and individuals in their 20’s.  Donors will receive a special Girls und Panzer souvenir card after they have donated.  The other cool factoid is that the story of Girls und Panzer is set in the town Oarai, which is in the Ibaraki prefecture.  It would be cool if something like this could be done with the North American Red Cross and superheroes.

Auto Museum Having Fun

 

The Toyota Auto Salon Amlux, an automobile museum, began a Girls und Panzer themed event.  The event will run through February 11 and some of their activities are a bingo tournament, 2000GT plastic model building, Gran Turismo game simulator and a Toyota itasha car decorated with official Girls und Panzer decals.  So if your plans include a visit to Japan, make the museum on of your stops.
